An Approach to Urban Quarter Design Using Building Generative Design and Thermal Performance Optimization

Buildings thermal performance is influenced by the urban context, such as adjacent buildings shadows, block wind paths, or solar radiation reflection. For this reason, in this paper, an automated procedure is used to generate and optimize buildings’ thermal performance in a closed O-shape urban quar...
